Hi, Zanya! Really good poem. I thinK a moon- ful sky in winter brings hope and clarity to the cold dark void winter brings. Beautiful poem with beautiful images.
Good luck in all you write

Thanks for that superb review zanya
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello, Zanya,
Thank you very much for adding a chapter. Beautiful haiku following Yvette's couplet.
The rule of renga is to follow the topic of previous chapter without repeating words. Please change the word, "nature".
Also, please add my author notes so next poet knows the renga rules.
Thank you!

silvery moonbeams

(nature's )storm lantern
Well done, my friend.

Renga is a Japanese collaborative poetry form in which poets write alternating verses of 5-7-5 stanzas and 7-7 couplets which are linked in succession by multiple poets. Only the first chapter haiku needs a kigo (season word).
If you would like to add a chapter, please follow the following instructions
Steps to post a chapter:
click on the ADD CHAPTER icon, located above the review box.
If the last poem is a 5/7/5 haiku, write a 7/7 couplet, if the last poem is a 7/7 couplet write a 5/7/5 haiku. Write about the same theme of the previous stanza but don't repeat words.
Post your poem as usual but it will be part of the book. you can edit it and add a picture if you like. A copy will go to your portfolio and you keep your reviews.
Please, copy and paste these instructions to your author notes. Thank you.

Thanks for that gentle reminder ! zanya
Comment from Ulla
Hi Zanya, I loved your poem following Yvette. Now a haiku is always written in lower case and what is more this haiku has to be in a 5-7-5 format. I'm afraid that you'rs is a 5-8-5 format. So it's more than the 17 syllables which is the requirement for a haiku. You could write:
silvery moonbeams
shines bright on wintry landscape
nature's storm lantern
just a suggestin. Ulla:)))

Comment from Vanna1
What a great analogy of the moon being a lantern, because it is so true. It has been said before, but you made it anew with a refreshing poem. Good presentation as well. Happy writing!
